Creighton has really struggled on the road this season. Other than their three road wins to begin conference season, every other game on the road has been a loss. Throw in the 0-4 road record in the non-conference part of the season and you definitely have a team that has some problems playing away from the Qwest Center.
The Bluejays head on the road one more time during the regular season. Wednesday night’s game against Wichita State will again be challenge, especially CU’s BracketBuster loss at Akron on Saturday. To steal a win in Wichita would be quite an accomplishment considering the road woes suffered throughout the season.
Wichita is a nice 6-hour drive from the Omaha metro, and since it is a weeknight, I’m sure a lot of Creighton fans won’t be able to make the trip. But that is OK. We have your Media Menu full of options to follow the 7 p.m. tip on Wednesday night.
